Well, to be fair to the others, your opinion sucks.

And depending upon where you live, 108 is just a pretty warm day.

As with everything, the question of toxicity requires one to give information about quantity.

Wouldn’t Let’s Play videos be a sort of equivalent?

The only logical argument is how the law views it. And the law views it as something other than theft.

Anyone with enough intelligence to understand the difference between copyright infringement and stealing honestly believes it isn’t stealing.

Is it really any different from watching a guy do a Let’s Play video of the entire game?

Yes, because that is totally a reasonable response.

Funny thing about piracy. For some of us, it has led to more purchases than would have otherwise happened.

I pirated a game, just for you. I wasn’t even going to play the game, but just for you.... I pirated it.

I have always found it odd that gamers can do these “Let’s Play” videos showing them playing the whole game while talking about it and make money off of it... but if you, say, made a “Let’s Watch” video of you watching a whole movie while talking about (whether profiting from it or not), that is copyright infringement.

XInput is what Xbox (and similar) controllers use, I guess you could consider it a replacement for DirectInput. It is the better option these days.

DirectInput games can have trouble using both at the same time, X-Input ones rarely do.

Name some.

Most do. Bethesda has a handful of games, that doesn’t make up the majority of PC games with controller support. You can significantly increase the amount of games if you include emulation, too.

Actually, most do. There are some sad examples, like any Bethesda game basically, but generally you can use them both at the same time all you want.

I have a steam controller sitting right beside me. I know exactly how it works.

You mean, outside of every game with controller support?

I have played PC games for over two decades.

Aren’t most mods supposed to make something better, not make something useless?
